City looks grotty

A new batch of students has arrived with the same old story.

Noise and filth.

If I was a tourist visiting Nottingham I would not want to come back.

Walking round Lenton, the city centre and Arboretum, I am disgusted and ashamed that this is my home city.

It really looks grotty with the litter, broken glass, food scraps, vomit, dog faeces, and various obscene stains on the pavement, not to mention the student areas where bed sheets and various items of clothing are being used as makeshift curtains.

You would expect these things in a third world country.

The logo "Proud of Nottingham" should be omitted from vehicles and booklets.

And they are telling other people round the world how to live.

What a sad and sorry joke this country has become.
